Thank You's and Update on Mum

Thank you so much for your lovely words of support and encouragement.

Mum had her mammogram yesterday and it was found out that she has catergoy 5 breast cancer.

Mum saw another specialist today and she will be having a biopsy next wednesday and the operation will most likely happen the following monday.

I will now have to get checkout every year from the age of 30 because there is a high risk in my family of breast cancer. My nan died of breast cancer at the age of 51. She never told mum how long she'd had the lump for, only ever said it had been there for along time. When she finally got it check out march and died that december. So we're hoping that they've got this one in mum in the very early stages. Mum turned 50 last november.

  1. I get the yearly checkups, but you've reminded me to make an appointment for this year. Thanks :). I'm 29 and was told to get yearly checkups since forever.

    Best wishes to you and your mum.
